Climbing Escalade Canada Launches Request For Proposal For Domestic Apparel Partner

Jul 3, 2024

Climbing Escalade Canada (CEC) launches a Request for Proposal (RFP) today in order to acquire bids for an Official Domestic Apparel Partner. We are seeking a Partner for a term of four years starting with the 2024-2025 Competition Season.

The purpose of this RFP is to identify and select one Domestic Apparel Partner for the opportunity to create a visual branding for each competition season, and improve the athletes and the community’s experience at events. CEC’s goal is to work with a Partner that is prepared to significantly invest in and support the sport of climbing in Canada, as the organization enters a pivotal period for the growth and advancement of the sport in the lead-up to the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Our partnership with Arc’Teryx is exclusive to the High Performance Program (HPP). Therefore, the HPP is not included in this RFP.

Please consult the detailed RFP here.
